PRAGUE, (SANA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Karel Schwarzenberg said that there is a possibility to reach a political solution to the crisis in Syria.

In a statement on Monday following EU foreign ministers in Brussel, Schwarzenberg stressed that the European Union should support the dialogue and provide all possible help.
